Nice "trailer queen" (what the hot rodders call a car that's all show and no go). It's really really good looking. amazing work. Very nice. But just not practical at 8 wide :-) (25 years ago, 6-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

Why we don't use non-LEGO product? One of the reasons is that it's lousy product. It does not wear as well or hold up to the same rigors that the LEGO product does.
